QuoteThere's not enough mushrooms in the world to make something more outlandish than the original.
I don't know about that. The human mind can come up with some scary shit.

Okay. Now this makes a lot more sense. Sorry about Marx more than the Rand. Both were idiots, but Marx led to Rand.

This is basically doublethink. I'm sort of suprised that it's just five percent. I've met plenty of people like that...

Nice. Should do Revelations. Always figured they left out a couple horsmen. Stupidity, Short Sightedness, the more subtle causes for the End.

Quotei still don't follow this, why do books and society end because people think for themselves? are you saying TFYS means every body must invent there own language and stop all communication with others? that the wheel and all human creations/advancements would be invalid to use unless you dissect it rebuild it for yourself?

I think that they're taking it not to it's logical conclusion but to a hypothetical extreme. Where TFYS is so dominant in everyone that they refuse to take in any information that they didn't think up themselves. Or at least that's what I think is the idea.

Huh. So are you actually saying that you're the literal reincarnation of those people, or that by studying them, they kind of live again through how you use their ideas?

QuoteThe meaning of life if whatever the hell I want it to be.

I get that. The problem is I don't know what I want it to be. Figuring it out so far has been a bitch.

Also there was the way it characterized the emotional tone of the Cold War. The paranoia and fear.

Quotei don't get the don't believe what you read logical extension to cant read things? why couldn't you read for enjoyment or to increase the number of views you are aware of but don't believe ?

Maybe afraid of being influenced?

QuoteI am torn... would that be a bad thing, or not?

It would have both good and bad parts. I mean we wouldn't be able to read Gonzo journalism, which would suck. But we also wouldn't have to worry about conservative/liberal bias crap. Maybe it would be just that people who wrote GOnzo and other biased stuff would have to state that it had a bias...
